@ Reibooi, I don't know if you serious or not, I know that in this generation their has not been many good looking jrpg, but when I clicked on that link of the FFXIV pic u posted that pic looks exactly like a ps2 character model.. I don't know what detail means to you, yea the pic on the models are smooth and clean.. but it has absolutely 0 details, you don't see skin textures or nothing it's just flat! FFXI look better with fixed registry. I know that this is alpha stage, and alpha stage always look half a$$ed.

The screen has immense detail in the face. In that screen the character looking at the camera looks incredibly life like. It's not the detail in the skin or what not that blows me aware. It's the expression on the face. It's not what looks like a vacant video game character expression it looks like there is life behind it.

I have played XI for the past 8 or so years(Since the US launch) and the last 4 have been on PC with the registry fix to make it look much better and it comes no where close to doing what XIV is doing in terms of it's overall graphics or the animations and faces.

Lets also not forget that the stuff in XIV looks like it has weight. No more robes and scale mail that look like they were made out of paper. They all have what looks like real weight and material to them.
